Synopsis

Determined but patient, a young foreigner is spending a few summer days in Strasbourg. Relaxing and enjoying the outdoor scene, he sketches the figures of the women around him, waiting for his lost love Sylvia. Eventually one sunny afternoon, he thinks he spots her, and sets off through the city to confront his memory.

Featuring standout performances from Xavier Lafitte and Pilar López de Ayala, in Jose Luis Guerin's romantic drama that captures the youthful sense of a world filled with an almost limitless sensuality.
